pie market and buyers are storing apples for ship
ment. The movement is speculative one how
ever Apples are not plentiful in this section but
are abundant elsewhere. The price for fall frui,
i about $50 per barrel.
EGGS. Mr.. Charles Lancaster, who for two wears
has run the egg establishment in this city founded,
by Lorenzo Dow, says he has handled 3d. 600 dozens
this year, of which "a 600 dozens have been iced
The price paid has ranged from eleven and a hall
cents to fourteen cents per dozen, which is an
average of one and half cents per dozen higher
than last year. The egg business throughout the
county has been good.
Hay. Considerable hay is now being shipped
from Maine to the South, more than for several
years past. Two vessels have loaded at Belfast
this week tor South Carolina. For several wears
the west has supplied the south at such rates that
Maine could not compete. The inter state COM
mercc bill has changed this somewhat and Maine
again enters the market. Just before the bill went
into effect large quantities of hay were shipped into
the south which has been consumed and now there
has been call for new hay. The price for new
hay is about the same as last year.
